Np!

I guess this is just cloning and injecting the overlay into a "fresh" omega right?
The target device can be not "fresh" since this will overwrite the overlay partition (on /dev/mtd3). But just to be safe try to make sure the target device is fresh.

Are there any concerns about using the same firmware version on both source and target?
You raise a good point! I would recommend making sure you're using the same firmware version on both source and target. I've edited the procedure above to mention this.
This process will only clone the overlay partition, that is, changes you've made to the device. This could potentially cause issues if the packages in the firmware of the target are a different version than on the source.

I need to deploy my custom firmware build to my Omega2S+ based devices, but since a new board will not have a wireless connection I need to use the ethernet connection also built into my board. So there is no reliance upon ipv4 address, this script finds the connected ipv6 device, uses scp to transfer the firmware to the device, then executes sysupgrade on the device.
@jossvall The UART TXD0 and TXD1 pins fall into the "must be floating or pulled down at boot time" category. That should be satisfied by most UART devices.

Have you tried downloading the latest firmware to /tmp/ on the Omega and doing a sysupgrade /tmp/<firmware-image> manually?
If your Omega has network, you can pull the firmware from an ssh shell and perform the upgrade.
If your Omega doesn't have upstream connectivity, you can scp (or pscp on windows) the firwmare image downloaded to your workstation/laptop over to the Omega to perform a manual upgrade.
I think NO.
It needs GPU.
You can only make kernel objects (with DMA) to manual installation if anybody look for this.
You'd better make I2S Sound Card support. If you need GUI, then sound needs too.
